Casey has a rich and diverse cultural heritage that illustrates the historic use, development and occupation of the land by indigenous and non-indigenous peoples during the post-contact period. This history is demonstrated by a wide range of heritage places that include buildings and structures, monuments, trees and landscapes, archaeological sites and places with spiritual or symbolic meaning.
They have one thing in common:
These are places that are worth keeping because they enrich our lives – by helping us to understand the past; by contributing to the richness of the present environment; and because we expect them to be of value to future generations.
Casey’s key chronological stages with examples of heritage places are:
- Aboriginal cultural landscape at first contact (c.1835-c.1860) eg., Dandenong Police Paddocks
- Pastoral era and establishing communities (c. 1838-c.1870) eg., Harkaway German Settlement
- Selection era and developing agriculture (c.1860-c.1940) eg., Old Cheese Factory Springfield Homestead Berwick
- Post-war industrial and residential expansion (c.1950-present day) eg., Fountain Gate Estate Narre Warren
